Going back to the start of my magazine construction I needed to consider who my target audience would be. I had a rough Idea, which ultimately were people who were fans of the music genre. I kept my target audience at those people who were fans of the music. Purely based on the fact of the purpose of my magazine: to provide a magazine for people who were fans of electronic music or interested in the music industry. Once I had my specific target audience I then proceeded to make a questionnaire which would help me find out what I type of things I should include in my magazine for instance what topics people want to read about, artist interviews and competitions.

Here is the questionnaire I constructed:













The feedback I got from this questionnaire was great. It helped me in the way that the answers I got acted as a guide. It enabled me to start my magazine on the basis of target audience feedback, a magazine based on what my target audience wanted to read. This was good because I could then adjust my magazine to suit their needs specificly letting me reach a greater total audience once my magazine was created.

After the construction of my magazine I then created another questionnaire so I could get feedback about what I had created and to what extent my target audience valued it as a succesful attempt. The type of questions I was asking in this questionnaire were:
  • Do you think the 'electronic' genre of my magazine is expressed through my front cover? why do you think this?
  • Does the desing and layout of the doubla page spread make you more interested in the artist in comparison to the front cover

The feedback that I got from this questionnaire was great because it helped me understand whether or not I had been successful in creating a music magazine for my target audience. It also helped me find out wether or not my target audience thought my magazine design was suitable for the type of magazine I was trying to put across.

Here is the questionnaire that I made:
